NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that BrownsPro Bowler Tashaun Gipson won't be in Cleveland on Tuesday for the team's second round of offseason workouts, per a source informed of his plans. Gipson also sat out the squad's first set of voluntary practices.

Yet to ink his second-round tender, Gipson is seeking a long-term deal from the team, Rapoport was told.

Gipson was a core member of coach Mike Pettine's defense in 2014, hauling in six interceptions before missing the final five games of the year with a knee injury. His 11 picks over the past two seasons make him a candidate for a long-term pact, but nothing has materialized. If a deal can't be hammered out, look for Gipson to sign his tender before camp and play out his contract.
